Ken Russell The Music Lover: Music & Images - 3CD Box Set

Ken Russell The Music Lover: Music & Images explores the director's instinctive use of classical music across his television films and cinema work. The anthology connects Elgar, Debussy, Delius, Tchaikovsky and Mahler with productions made during the 1960s and 1970s.
